Not since the early nineteenth century, when California was still part of Mexico, have there been such close ties between
Mexico and its former northern territory. Today, one Californian in five is of Mexican heritage, compared with fewer than
one in ten in 1970. California is Mexico's second-largest trading partner (after Texas), and Mexico is California's second-largest
export market (after Japan). Millions of people from southern California and northern Mexico engage each day in an intricate
web of transactions in which the border is much less significant than shared aims and interactions. California's growing Mexican
connection shapes the state's life in many ways other than economic: from culture to cuisine, schools to boardrooms, workplace
to voting booth. This book is the first in any language to explore the nature, scope, and effects of the California-Mexico
connection. It analyzes the movements of people, goods, money, politics, and culture across the California-Mexico border,
and explores its implications for both parties. By bringing together experts on Mexico, California, and the issue areas where
they intersect, the fourteen papers in this book not only describe and analyze the connection but consider how Mexicans and
Californians can help assure that the connection's effects are more consistently and mutually positive. The book is in four
parts. Part I situates the California-Mexico connection in comparative and theoretical terms, and provides an overview from
the Mexican perspective on the mutual impact of California and Mexico. Part II outlines demographic, economic, political,
and social changes in Mexico and how they are affecting California. Part III focuses on Mexico's presence within California
and its impact on society, education, health, labor, politics, and the economy. Part IV analyzes what can be done - by Mexicans
and Californians - to strengthen the positive effects of the California-Mexico connection

In order to provide a basis for improving United States policies toward Latin America in the 1980s, the document examines
past U.S. policy and relations, evaluates recent U.S. approaches, and offers a reassessment of current U.S. interests in Latin
America. The book is divided into five chapters. Chapter I discusses social, economic, and political change in Latin America
from the 1950s through the 1970s. Topics include the 1961 Alliance for Progress, the prosperity and integration of Latin America
into the world economy, the trend away from democratic institutions, and the rejection of U.S. dominance. Chapter ii compares
the traditional view of U.S.-Latin America relations in terms of cultivating security and private economic interests with
a new concept of U.S. interests. Problems of massive immigration, advanced nuclear research in Latin American countries, growing
economic interdependence, and authoritarian regimes are noted. Chapter iii examines the policies of Presidents Kennedy, Johnson,
Nixon, Ford, and Carter. Chapter iv proposes a restructuring of the entire economic and political order on the basis of consistently
applied liberal policies of a free market which serves the interests of weaker as well as stronger countries. Suggestions
are offered for applying this approach to trade, finance, foreign investment, technology transfer, foreign investment, migration,
and human rights. Methods for implementing free market policies are discussed in Chapter V. Discussion questions conclude
the document. (Kc)

"Global California addresses an important subject: how the citizens of a state with the dimensions and power of a nation are
affected by international trends, and what they can do to identify and promote their own interests in a rapidly changing world.
In this fresh, well-informed, and balanced analysis, Abraham Lowenthal deals with thorny issues--from globalization, trade,
and infrastructure to immigration, environmental pollution, climate change, and California's ties with neighboring Mexico
and the dynamic Asian economies. Californians need to think strategically and act effectively to gain as much as possible
from international engagement while managing its risks and costs. They must build 'cosmopolitan capacity' to understand and
respond to global challenges and opportunities. Too much is at stake for California--its citizens, government, firms, and
nongovernmental organizations--to leave thinking and acting on international affairs to the federal government and to East
Coast think tank experts. This volume shows Californians how to succeed in an ever more interconnected world. "--Back cover

Kalman Silvert highlights the extraordinary career of an extraordinary man-one of the founding architects of Latin American
studies in the United States, a major builder of the inter-American scholarly community, and an influential figure in US-Latin
American relations. Thirteen distinguished Latin Americanists discuss Silvert's role as scholar, teacher, mentor, colleague,
public intellectual, institution builder, and philanthropist. They also emphasize his contributions at the Ford Foundation,
where he served as senior program adviser from 1967 until his death in 1976. Coeditors Abraham Lowenthal and Martin Weinstein

legacy
